Dentist is charged with criminally negligent homicide in patient's death due to tooth extractions

A Connecticut dentist who reportedly ignored repeated low-oxygen alarms and warnings from assistants that a sedated patient was deteriorating, continuing with tooth extractions until the patient flatlined in his chair last year, has been charged with criminally negligent homicide. In addition to that misdemeanor, Rashmi Patel, 45, also faces a felony charge of evidence tampering, according to the Associated Press and the Hartford Courant .
